the more mr. romney changes, the more he stays the same. joining us now is msnbc contributor and columnist for the bloomberg view, jonathan alter, msnbc political analyst michael eric dyson of georgetown university, and matt miller, msnbc contributor and the columnist for "the washington post." matt, the big reboot by the romney campaign is that the president believes in redistribution, and would you believe it, they've got him on tape saying this very thing 14 years ago. let's take a listen. >> i think the trick is figuring out how do we structure government systems that pool resources and, hence, facilitate summary distribution because i actually believe in redistribution, at least at a certain level to make sure that everybody has got a shot. how do we pool resources at the same time as we decentralize delivery systems in ways that both foster competition, can work in the marketplace, and can foster innovation at a local level and can be tailored to particular communities. >> okay. matt, tell me, what's the big crime here? >> there is no
